    Re-entry : Is the act of returning to a place, or area of activity that you have left.

    The best way to approach re-entry is to expect that there will be differences.
    People, home or abroad, will have changed with time. Part of the re-entry process
    will include finding a new lifestyle to combine the best of your old lifestyle and
    your new lifestyle. There are some challenges and strategies to facilitate re-entry.

    1. Family
    You may be expected to fit back into your family but find it difficult to
    communicate effectively because your family has not shared your overseas
    experiences.

    Strategies:

     Share your experience through photos, stories, etc.


     Let your family know how much you appreciate the chance they have given
    you to grow in new ways by living, studying, and traveling overseas.

    2. Friends
    You and your friends may no longer be as close. You need to be sensitive about
    discussing your experience with them. You may also miss the new friends you
    made while overseas.

    Strategies:

     Ask and listen to what your friends have experienced while you were away.
     Ask to be brought up to date on local events.
     Try to do new things together to get the relationship on a new footing.
    3. School
    You may look at your home campus in a new light. You may also miss the feeling
    of being part of a close-knit group of students.

    Strategies:

     Talk over your academic experience with your adviser, especially if you are
    considering new career goals.
     Seek out other students who have studied overseas.

    4. Self
    You become familiar with activities that might not be suitable for your home and
    campus. You may feel restless or a little depressed for a while after you return.

    Strategies:

     Think of the ways you have changed — which of those do you like?
     What did you learn about yourself?
     Keep your sense of humor!
     Write about your experiences abroad.

    5. Country
    The culture of your home may no longer be what you want, and you may feel that
    you are no longer suitable.

    Strategies:

     Come to terms with the fact that we all tend to look past the shortcomings of
    our home culture when we are away, and tend to criticize it on the basis of
    changed perceptions when we return.
     Keep up with your host country by means of news, reading, friends, etc.
